Boss Cabins Deep Green Canteen Dry 12
The Deep Green range is fitted with our SOLARFlow electrical system, which combines solar energy harvesting with an ultra energy-efficient electrical system to hugely reduce energy use and emissions.
A full roof of solar panels captures the sun’s energy during daylight hours which is then either used immediately or stored in a 5.12kWh Lithium Ion battery. For much of the year, Deep Green cabins operate purely from solar alone with no need for the generator to run.
The SOLARFlow system provides all the functionality required in a hard-working welfare cabin with virtually zero requirement for generator use. All electrical operations run off solar or battery power alone. A tiny 3.5kVA generator is supplied to act as a back up and top up if necessary.
All these elements are monitored 24/7 and the information can be remotely accessed at any time to produce detailed reports on how much solar energy has been produced and stored, how much energy has been used to operate the cabin and if/when the generator has been activated, making carbon reporting quick and easy.
The SOLARFlow system produces an incredible reduction in generator runtime - extensive field tests show that the unit’s generator will generally not need to run at all during the spring/summer/autumn months. In deepest winter, the reduction is still impressive with the generator running on average one hour a day from November to Feb. This is a 93.4% reduction in energy use which will save 2089 litres of fuel a year and reduce CO2 emissions by 100 kg per week, a yearly saving of 5200kg.
The system is intuitive and easy-to-use - just turn on the Cabin Power Isolator switch at the start of the day to get the unit running. Power management is seamless with no need to ever turn the generator on or off. It will switch on automatically to recharge the battery if necessary with no user intervention.
